The photo shows a night-time image of a statue of a dragon on a plinth. The dragon is silhouetted with it's hed raised and wungs spread. There is a set of round stree-lights in the bottom right of the image which are the only source of light.

I see we don't need to worry about Reform in our Inverness. Why should they bother when even the Lib Dems come out with stuff like this...

A portrait colour photo of two trees, one possibly an acacia and the other a candelabra tree. The candelabra tree is growing through the acacia and out the top.

Looking down a deep slope of mostly grass and scrub with a number of pale rocks into a deep blue sea. Some rocks are just about visible under the water, but these fade out as the water gets deeper.

A sunset reflected in a calm lake. To the right is a silhouette of a small castle on a hill. The image is quite dark, but the orange light on the clouds is reflected in the water, as is the castle.

The photo shows a statue of a bird like a goosander in the dark. The bird's head, beak and neck are silhouetted against the reflected light from some street lights.

Wish I could say this was an actual bird, but sadly my wildlife photography skills aren't that good... It's a statue in #Ljubljana #Slovenia #Slovenija #photography #travel #sharemondays2025

Hi. It's me. 2 weeks later. This is done. 58 frames over 3 seconds, *50* layers in the final image. WOO. This was a long edit, felt like ACTUAL work so unless I get it again with the actual sunset I doubt I'll be editing more like this. Psyched for the final piece tho! πŸͺΆ

The photo shows a flat, dark landscape with storm clouds overhead. There are sunbeams shining down through gaps in the clouds from the top right of the image.

The photo shows a rolling landscape of large fields in the early autumn. In the middle distance is a ploughed field with the ridges coming towards the viewer with a single tree at the far side. There are 3 large warehouses on the far left.

The image shows a view looking down an alley in Dubrovnik's Old Town. The building are of rough brick and are clustered close together. The alley is deeply shaded, but there are the silhouettes of two people about half-way down.

A black-and-white protrait format photo looking out from height over an equatorial forest. The foreground is full of trees, with rolling, forested valleys behind. In the background, at the top of the image, is a hazy mountain showing a jagged ridge-line. There are patches of snow on the mountain.

Portrait format photo showing a large metal ferris wheel from almost underneath. Metal girders run horizontally and vertically up to the axel and there are many wires connecting the wheel to the axel. There are four wires which form a cross just above the centre of the image. Four cabins are visible while look like shorter versions of old railway caraiges in dark red. The sky behind the wheel is mostly clear with some pale clouds.

The picture shows a view looking out from a hill over a short expanse of forest towards the sea. There are some small islands towards the top of the image. In the centre is a larger island with a white lighthouse to the left. A large hump-backed road bridge leads from this island towards and slightly to the right of the camera. There is a single car on the bridge coming towards the camers. In the water to the left of the bridge are two boats. One is a white sailing boat with twoo sails and the other appears to be a small fishing boat. It's quite bright and the shadow of the bridge can be seen on the island. A slight breeze makes the water ripple but without big waves.

Quite apart from the fact that 2 hours minus 2 minutes is not 58 minutes:

These people are fucking idiots. The point of reading, or any other form of intellectual enquiry, is that you don't always know what is interesting until you start looking. Acquiring knowledge is not an engineering problem.

Two sea stacs, one close and taking up the left-hand third of the image. The second is further away and roughly triangular. There is a small double-peaked rock on the far right. The sea is rough, and you can see rocks breaking on the nearest stac. The two stacks are stained white along cracks where seabirds are nesting and there are lots of seabirds flying in the overcast sky.
